A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Print page 1 and keep page 2 for checking. Explain float as a decorated parade vehicle, not the verb meaning stay on water.

  1. Read the list and contrast costume with mask and parade with party.
  2. Locate all twelve targets in any direction, using the marked key only after partner comparison.
  3. Describe an imagined street scene using float, crowd, music and colour; identify what performers and spectators do.

Support and extension

Support with a simple parade sketch and selected targets. Extend with a sentence explaining what makes a crowd enjoyable or stressful. Carnival traditions differ by place; no costume or performance is required.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
